I had an elective cs with prime and haven't paid a dime. There is a history of labor and birth complications in my family, multiple resulting in infant death and I didn't want to chance it. My OB agreed that the psychological pressure I'd put myself under, could be hindering. So I had a c section and it was great!

My family is somewhat the same way which is why I was curious as to how requesting a c-section would go about.I read online that Tricare will cover some but there are some out of pocket fees I'd have to pay.Thanks for your responses,very helpful

It would really more depend on how your doctor codes it ESP if you are prime. If they bill it as elective I would assume you would pay out of pocket as with any elective procedure. Now if your doctor bills it as medically necessary for mental health, large baby, stalled labor any of the acceptable medical reasons for a c section they will pay.

I had a caection in a civilian hospital and didn't pay a penny, was on remote select, my ob coded it as necessary even tho it really wasn't, my hip fracture had me on bed rest and I gained 20 pounds in 2 months
